My past work on the analytical and numerical aspects of statistical
closures in turbulence has led to the recent development of Spectral
Reduction, a reduced statistical description of turbulence. The agreement
with full numerical simulations appears to be remarkably good, even in
flows containing long-lived coherent structures. Among the practical
applications, such a tool can be used to assess the effect of various
dissipation mechanisms in large-eddy simulations, as a subgrid model, or
even as a substitute for full simulation of high-Reynolds number
turbulence.
